I wonder why they recast the role. Yancey wasn't anything to write home about, but he wasn't necessarily a bad actor either. The role was just very generic. No one could've made the role interesting the way he was written. I would've rather saw Tomlin/Whitesell just send the character off with Yancey in an exit, and then bring this guy on as Benjamin Reardon if they want to keep a younger character connected to Abe/Carvers.
